MINEHEAD residents are continuing to express their dislike for a project earmarked for the town’s seafront to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The County Gazette reported how a Facebook page was set up to ‘Stop the Minehead Clock Tower’.

The project to build a clock tower is aimed to be up and running by the end of this year, two and half years after its planned completion.

Organisers said a lack of funds has led to the delay and have had to change their original plans. Proposals for a smaller and less elaborate clock tower have now been submitted to West Somerset Council.

Over 100 residents have taken to the planning application and to the Facebook group to object to the tower.

My comment was a little bit tongue in cheek, I have nothing against a clock being on the sea front, I say build it. But maybe a digital version will help the majority of Butlins visitors tell the time!
